A couple of little projects finished. I normally don't take before photos but I did this time. Little Boker 9023 (1925-62) and Case 62055 (1965-69).

Got this to Mike Moran to replace my earlier custom sheepsfoot (for sale in the forum if anyone is looking for a Kirilov Custom at a low price). View attachment 2119745

Here‘s a pile of oldies that were recently gifted to me from my father. I need to get them inventoried and do a little cleaning and waxing before individual photos and putting them away.

I recently added a JPSK to the three I already had. It's the oldest and is in excellent condition.
$40 including tax. I had a good day! T-A

Arrived two days ago... Standard condition (in my world anyway).
Upon arrival, both blades felt like they had been lubricated with silica sand - No walk, no talk. Mark side handle scale is faded, but the knife is sound, with very few light nicks, dings or scratches.
A little WD-40 Specialist in the joints and blade well overnight helped the blade movement a lot. The pen blade now walks & talks like a platoon leader on the parade field, showing off an astounding half-stop. The main however, still mumbles & stumbles, with no indication of a half-stop at all. I have been able to get a bit of snap upon closing, but opening is a lazy affair all the way. I'll keep working on it though. I don't give up easily.
A light application of Mineral Oil, followed by a brief drying with a soft cloth, brightened up the handle scales and brought out the color quite nicely. Both Delrin scales now display a flat, dull finish, that I quite like, as opposed to the shiny look I usually go for. I think I'll try to preserve that look as I polish up the metal parts.
Any information offered regarding when this knife may have been manufactured would be really appreciated. I know it's not what would be considered a collector's item, but I'm curious anyway; I like to know those things.
